What is a Hosting template?

A Hosting template is a predefined configuration that you can save and reuse when creating new services. These templates allow you to standardize technical parameters and avoid repeating tasks every time you need to create a service.

Templates can include configurations such as:

• Service resources (disk space, RAM, CPU limits).
• PHP version or other server language.
• Security and access policies.
• Database parameters.
• File system permissions.
• Email environment configuration.

Example: If you manage websites with similar characteristics, you can create a base template with PHP 8.2, 2 GB of disk space, and FTP access. Then, you only need to choose that template when creating a new service.
